Tempurung 25th - 29th July, 2009

The obligatory sunset shots at Tempurung.












Can't resist the waves....













Enjoying the slightly turbulent sea. What do you think of the 'karate-kid' praying-mantis pose?









Edible jelly fish abound.
Delicious prawns ...........








................. and crabs at Tempurung.







Tenom 22nd - 25th July, 2009

Stayed at a very reasonably priced hotel in town - plumbing not too good though. Convenient location + accessibility to 7-11 a plus factor for Jeremy and Daniel. They like their Squishy.










Jeremy, Daniel with cousins Ah Soon (Godfrey) and Vincent and uncle, Edmund.















Dinner with family in Tenom.










With the family.

Semporna - 4th - 9th August, 2009



Old-fashioned ice-cream vendor - two huge thermos flasks containing ice-cream placed on either side of the polystyrene box with the cones nestled in between. My first taste of ice cream many many years ago in Sapong/Tenom came from a similar thermos.








Barrow-boy (one of many in Semporna) waiting to load bananas onto barrow for delivery to a banana stall. Very hard work for little hands.
















Two chaps dessicating coconut in the background using motorised 'graters' - a far cry from the manual grating.












Yummy!











Barbecued seafood...

Yummy yummy!










At the dried sea creatures market.


Dried cuttle-fish - sotong.











Home-made cakes anyone?










Serious case of not-putting-suncream on!!


The divers are back.
